Homeland Security is not doing its job

Posted September 05, 2007 11:00 pm

It's about time that the illegal alien Elvira Arellano was deported. No mention is ever made of the father of Elvira's child. The media did the job that the Immigration System failed to do properly for 10 years. It's time to change the 14th Amendment so that in addition to legal naturalization only American citizens can give birth to American children.

Ms. Arellano actually entered this country illegally twice. The second time (almost a year after 9/11), she presented a false Social Security number to obtain a job at O'Hare Airport working on board airplanes. This completely shatters my belief in "Homeland Security" and installs in me the bunker mentality that we can't count on the government to protect us. Americans need to be increasingly vigilant when we see the lax security by Homeland Security. It's time for the American government to do its job! Otherwise, why are we paying taxes?
